      You will have to download the games on the PSN store when it's back up. The article said the 2 free games you pick will be available to download for a month after PSN store is back up, the game is yours forever to keep.

      Not one of those games seems appealing to me, even though they're free.

      Xbox gives me a few NEW actually being new game each year when I renew my subscription. I can only imagine what I would be getting after having my credit card information stolen by hackers. I still find it funny they keep blaming their network disruption on hackers... and take the blame off themselves for never encrypting their packets after multiple mentioned have been made about them not encrypting private user information over the last several years. aka its Sony's fault your credit info got out... not the hackers.
